Apple’s stock and reputation fell because of this story? That’s nonsense. No one but tech blogs care. The market is in a pull back right now and this story has nothing to do with it. In the end, though, stories like this are short seller’s manna from Heaven.

Really? Or perhaps the story was a distraction to have people look at Amazon and Apple, so no one is paying attention to Supermicro.

It is unclear how, or even if, the allegations can be disproven, as Bloomberg has yet to produce conclusive evidence of the scheme beyond information from anonymous sources. The statement above says it all. No evidence, emails, no government contacts. Nothing! So what's there to disprove? Bloomberg has a fairytale that is just a fairytale.They tried to make Apple look really bad and have only made themselves look really bad. They have nothing to show for it except lack of credibility.

My five year old iMac blue tooth keyboard suddenly stopped working about an hour ago. The USB-connected mouse worked fine, but I couldn't use the keyboard. I went to System Preferences to check it out, and a popup notified me that some location in China was trying to connect to my WiFi. My computer is hardwired, so they couldn't have gotten in via using the WiFi signal that way. The only other option would appear to be the WiFi signal using the wireless keyboard. I switched to a Logitech wired keyboard, and the problem disappeared. Can anyone explain this to a novice?
